Here too the nose is quite pungent even though there is no reduction; that said, there are ample toast and menthol elements to the spiced plum and earth scents. The toast doesn't stop at the nose though as it's on the medium weight plus flavors that also display a distinct chewiness and a hint of dryness as well. While this may come together, it has some obstacles to overcome first.
